Sheikh Ali Warsame Hassan (Somali: Sheekh Cali Warsame Xasan, Arabic: الشيخ علي ورسمه حسن) was a Somali Islamic cleric, preacher, and scholar of Dawah, credited with being one of the first scholars to introduce the Salafi Da'wah to Somalis. He was among the most prominent of Somali scholars.
A founder and emir of Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya, he later broke ties with the group, becoming a leading figure of Jama'at al-I'tisam (Ictisaam) in 1996, a reformist, non-militant group.
